Yes, that, but also just not liking someone. I feel that the sexism and racism in our industry are important parts of a larger pattern, which is simply that if someone doesn’t express ideas the same way you do, or look/act how you think a “nerd” or “hacker” should, then they’re not one. Women and non-white people are likely to get caught in that, but so might a white man who just doesn’t talk in a way that codes as “nerdy”. God forbid if they could be considered a “bro”, the nerd’s mortal enemy. And so you say they’re not a good fit, and that’s that. It can’t be proven incorrect because culture fit is a nebulous idea to begin with. It’s a catch-all for whatever you don’t like, basically.
